He had our support early on, but that very quickly changed when it became crystal clear we had appointed a Muppet. He had no idea how to counteract opposition managers tactics, He had no idea as to when to make a substitution and i feel the best thing as just happened to him by being sacked.. Hopefully he will learn a great deal from his experience at Notts, and go on to be a good manager..
Doesn?t answer my question but good to know you hope the muppet goes on to be a good manager.
Regarding SM, I don?t see how a manager that makes the playoffs with a team that (reportedly) had the 12th highest budget and sold its best players, can be classed as a muppet or a fish out of water.
Stay classy Durham!
